Businesshotel Berlin — Hotel in Berlin

This hotel has a great pricing but there are some definite drawbacks. One of my main criteria was the Wi-Fi and that worked well throughout our visit. One thing they don't mention is that they only give you fresh towels every four days. Several reviews mention that it is far from the city but has good connections, which is true, but all of them require a trolley ride followed by one or more connections on the underground. This works well, but eats a lot of time.||||Everything else at the hotel was great. The staff was helpful but had only limited English, which sometimes got interesting. They always did their best to answer our questions though. We only had the breakfast once, because it wasn't included in our package, but it was very nice. The room was clean. They did make up the room every day, just no towels.||||If you stay at the hotel get a room away from the roadway. You have to open the windows, because there is no air conditioning and the roadway is very loud with frequent very annoying sirens throughout the night and day. We visited in July and it was tolerable, but had to request a fan which the hotel did provide at no charge.||||There are a number of restaurants relatively close by, but you have to ride the tram or the bus to all of them. Several were quite good. I recommend Steak Company which was a standout and only about 10 minutes away via the tram and a short walk.||||For the price this is a reasonable hotel but you're going to need to buy a pass for public transportation or spend a lot on taxis. I would stay...

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in July 2014. The room was clean, safe, nicely appointed, and a real bargain. We did not pay extra for the wi-fi, but we were told when we checked in that it might be available in our room. Sometimes it was, and sometimes not. When it was not available, we could connect by sitting on the steps near our room or in the little bar area downstairs. We booked it without breakfast, but decided to eat breakfast there the first day. It was an excellent spread, so we ate there every morning, for 8.90 euros or about $12.10 USD per person per day. Not cheap, but it really was good with hot items as well as the standard cheese, breads, cereals, etc., and nothing in Germany is cheap by US standards. We opted to pay for parking underneath at 5 euros per night, only because it was raining heavily when we arrived. You can do that and then opt out of the parking later if you want since there is free outdoor parking on the property. The staff was incredibly helpful in providing advice on nearby places to eat and getting into Berlin. You can buy the tram/subway tickets and some other tourist attraction tickets from them. The tram was directly across the street, and we took that for about 6 stops and then transferred to the subway for the rest of the trip. Very easy. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone...

Free parking beside the hotel (their property) so didn’t need to pay 7 euro for underground parking. ||||Staff at reception were ok. Breakfast was expensive (10 euros each) but good. Tried to not have the second morning so we didn’t have to pay but since we had requested it in advance, we had to eat/pay. ||||Room was a good size with nice furniture and a comfortable bed and bedding. The reading lamps were good. Desk with chair which worked fine for playing cards and eating dinner when we moved in the other chair. TV had an English channel, nice to catch up on the news.||||Nice modern bathroom.||||Transit was handy and easy to get downtown. We didn’t find the subway easy to get around, but the connections to and from the hotel were good and we had...
